Our instructor Abigail was awesome- very high energy and kind and easy to follow along with. I've taken many painting classes before this and already knew what I was doing so I didn't need as much help, but it was new for most of my coworkers so Abigail was super amazing assisting them when needed or giving them guidance on what to do next. We chose "Broccoli" the cat, and you have the option to follow along with the instructor and paint your canvas exactly like the demo or go your own route- I chose to make mine look like my own sweet kitty so it's fun to have some creative freedom if you so choose. They host a lot of different events here, even a "paint your pet" night. After you come and paint something, if you want something fixed, adjusted or help with it you can come in any saturday morning and the artists will help you adjust your painting for free! Normally, this is a paint & sip place as well so you can bring a bottle of wine or your drink (alcoholic or NA) of choice to sip while you paint which is fun too. Definitely recommend this for a date night, girls night, coming with family or even to one of the events by yourself, it's a great way to wind down and let your inner creative come out!

I always love these Painting with a Twist classes. Last week I had painted my late kitty, CleoAnn -…read moreit came out amazing. However, I had the desire to also paint my late Rajah-Lynn so both paintings could be on the wall at the same time, so I started looking around fora Painting with a Twist class that was doing one soon and found this location was doing it this weekend - PURRFECT! So I paid for my class and sent in my picture so they could trace it out on the canvas for the class. I drove over from Orlando and arrived to find that it wasn't just an outline of my kitty, but a whole charcoal drawing! I could have just walked out with it like that! It was amazing! Abigail and Alex were great. They each walked around and helped or gave suggestions. Three hours flew by! (We all were wishing for just another 15 minutes. LOL) I had a great time and am happy to go home with my paiinting so I can put CleoAnn and Rajah-Lynn together (they were sisters for 11 years). The only suggestion I would make - at the Painting with a Twist I normally go to, the offer a paintable wooden frame for your artwork for a small uncharge. I would gladly have bought the upcharge.... and probably others in that class would have also. (It was already on the sketch when class started and they sent me home with a small "takeout container" of paint to finish at home.) Just a bit of money your shop could be adding to their sales. But all in all, I had a great time. Thank you.

Ranging from animal figure, planter, room decor, piggy banks, labubu and more. Prices varied base on selection and size of item as well. The staff were answering questions as needed.

Each has the prices labeled on the bottom. You choose one, take a seat, choose your paints, and then spend several hours absorbed into art! It takes awhile because you have to do multiple layers of paint to make the colors show up properly. This place is neat because it's connected to a little cafe. They have an iPad at the connecting doorway so you can order drinks or snacks delivered while you work. We didn't know about that so we didn't do much with it this time but we definitely would in the future!

Spent a day creating my first mosaic piece at Breakables. I was pleased with the final product…read more They have a wide array of tiles and pieces, provide the glue, the item to receive the tile pieces and good space to work (little heat on cold days). It's nice it's next to a tea store so you can sip while you work. I thought I'd be finished in an hour but we were there over 3. Initially I thought the prices were high, starting at about $32 for smaller sized things, but after seeing the work, time and tiles involved, it's more than fair. I would have liked for it to be staffed with a helpful person with tiling experience, but the clerk from Picasso's ceramic painting café ran back and forth checking on us and couldn't have been nicer. We were largely on our own, after a brief demo on how to cut tiles. (Needy people and children will perhaps not like the set-up/independence required.) They send you home with a bag of grout to finish it 24 hours after the glue sets. Inventory for tile boards was scant. The finished models showed you what finished products looked like but were not available to make. They had some mosaics on Lucite and had an area for making candles. It was a good first experience. I love the whole artist enclave vibe of the strip of stores here.

The two top worst professors I've had are Professor Caldecutt and Professor Copeland. I think this school should care more about who they hire as professors, just because they have a degree DOES NOT mean they can teach the material. Do the hiring staff not look at rate my professor??? Another aspect that was quite annoying was always having classes with high schoolers. All of my classes had immature highschoolers. I don't care if they are in collegiate, they should separate the actual college students from the high schoolers. It feels like highschool all over again. Polk state was just a huge waste of time. I will be transferring to HCC in the fall, to get stuff DONE so I can (finally) transfer to a university.

You can feel the energy the second you step inside! My daughter has absolutely blossomed since joining. Her confidence has skyrocketed, her skills have grown so much, and she enjoys her classes so much that she never wants to leave. We basically have to drag her out of the studio every day! Jenn and Alessia are truly incredible. Their kindness, passion, and genuine love for teaching shine in everything they do. They encourage, support, and inspire my daughter in ways we are endlessly grateful for. They are helping her chase her dreams with so much joy. I also love the many opportunities the studio offers, including accepting the Step-Up scholarship program, homeschool classes, an unlimited class plan, and Highland dance, which is my daughter's absolute favorite. She looks forward to it all week and talks about it nonstop. We couldn't be happier to be part of Caledonia Performing Arts. If you're looking for a studio that is uplifting, supportive, and full of heart, this is the place. Highly, highly recommend!
